I just realized that I accidentally put welsh harlequin duck eggs in the incubator with Muskovy eggs. The Muskovy eggs should hatch a week later than the harlequins. Is there a way to tell which is which?

In our last two bobwhite broods, we've experienced a high mortality rate starting in the third week or so. It looks like the top of their feet are getting sores on them, then they start picking at the sore, then they're dead within a couple days. A drop of Bactine on the injury seems to help...
I've currently got a small flock of muscovies - two drakes and three ducks, and I'd like to get at least one of them to hatch a clutch of eggs. I have a small backyard lot in the city of Chicago.
I was planning building shelters with 16-gauge 1/2" x 1" GAW rabbit cage floor wire on all sides...
